Hey guys, i have just noticed when flying a plane over any water textures i have a very large bright blob if thats the right

Is it still there when you fly at night? If not, it might as well be..... the sun.

Im not sure ill check now, but the sun wasnt out when it appeared as it was very cloudy and misty and no sign of the sun, and it follows the plane everywhere. Anyway ill go check for it at night  ;)

Do you have any water addons? They often add sun refelctions to make it look more realistically in clear skies, but as FS2004 does not support real time reflections as FSX does, the "reflection" of the sun stays even when it is over cast :-/

Ah i see, i did have it on real time so it may well be that. And yes i do have water add-ons. Thanks for your help guys ill try it back on cloudy without real time and see if it works later on tonight.

Try setting the sun at dawn or dusk, then it should stretch out more. And yeah, the technique for real time light rendering wasnt as far as it is during the FSX days.
